hey all, just had a fun day at the office!
got one of those Phishing calls from "microsoft tech support", going on about my pc having a virus.. ? lol
yes, i know its a load of crap, but i decided to take it for a laugh n see what they wanted...
firstly, they got me looking up the Event Viewer (eventvwr.exe) and claim that all that stuff is errors... ohh scarey... its a log! nothing more!
then they wanted me to download some crap from the internet... at which point i said no and hung up...
during this call though, i decided to google everything he was saying... came up with this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/18/phone-scam-india-call-centres
just incase! hang up on anyone claiming to be from Microsoft, we all know they'll never offer help!
or in my case, i'm gonna see what funny things i can get away with next time.
like saying, "sorry, i own a Mac..."
